Drizzle the oil over top, tossing to coat in the oil. Season with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt & ground black pepper as desired, tossing again to coat.
  • Place the onions on the grill, cut side facing down. Grill 7-8 minutes, flipping the onions halfway through, until tender & charred as desired. For larger onions, the total cook time may be closer to 10 minutes.
  • , with a splash of balsamic & sprinkling of fresh herbs as desired. If serving on a grilled vegetable platter, drizzle with a light & bright herbaceous sauce, like pesto or chimichurri.

Caramelized Onion Pasta image

All you need for this tasty dinner is a bag of onions, garlic, some dried pasta, and cheese. Caramelizing sliced onions in a little butter and olive oil makes them become sweet and yielding, almost luscious. Pasta water and Parmesan do double duty, adding salt and depth while the creamy sauce forms.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
2 lb. onions (about 3 large), thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oil and butter in a large heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium until butter is melted.

CARAMELIZED ONIONS ON THE GRILL



Caramelized Onions on the Grill image

These are absolutely melt in your mouth delicious! You can make them on the grill or in the oven. Even friends of ours that don't care for onions loved these! I would recommend that you use 1 large onion for every 2 people. Some people want one whole onion to themselves so you might want to make some extra! They are also good heated up the next day but we rarely have any extra!
